previous to their exit from their foreign
country under the penalty of 81 900 for

Important Decision by Commissioner of
Patents.

WASHINGTON, d. G., July 1S.-The
Commissioner of Patents has rendered IN
important decision in the case Of an appli-
cation TO register trade mark for distilled
spirits in which the words knights OF
Labor" and *. of L." distillery appear.
The commissioner states that there is no
pretense that the manufacturers of this
particular brand of whisky, who seek to
register the trade mark, are Knights of La
Dor, or are engaged in business with
them, or under their auspices, yet
the distinctive mark points to this
labor organization, or to the members as a
class rs the origin of the ownership of the
article to which it is applied. In other
words the proposed trade mark is in the
nature ola false representation and IA de-
ception to the general public possibly in
ducing them to purchase an article under
the belief that it is manufactured by a
society in which they have friendly in
terest. The commissioner, therefore, on
the ground of the false pretense OF such q
trade mark, refuses its registration.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Rungs's Failure-Colispse of the Great
Cotton Corner.

AAu"srs Fahure-Coiiapse Oh the 0reat
Cotton Corner.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-The Nail and Err
press says: The announcement that julius
Runge, the big Galveston cotton operator,
had made an assignment in that city,
caused decline of IA points in August
here to-day, equal to the same amount in
Liverpool. Runge had been carrying q
large line of cotton for q syndicate which
embraced operators in Galveston, New Or
leans and Liverpool, and, if reports are cor
rect, also include operators in Chicago and
St Louis who are well known in the grain
trade MIR. Runge was member OF the
firm of Kaufman & Runge, a cotton firm
IN Galveston. He organized a syndicate
as far back rs February when cotton was
considered low, and began to buy up near
options, more particularly April, until
he had corDered that month,
gradually advancing the market
till it stood one cent above the lowest
point. He took hold Of August at about
$50 cents and pushed it up on the shorts
till the market touched II 53 cents few
weeks ago The bull movement all along
was based on the cheapness of the price, or
the favorable statistical position. But the
stocks on hand increased and the recent
report of the Bureau of Agriculture, show
ing very favorable outlook for the new
crop made the corner stagger August soon
began to waver and look top-heavy until
it suddenly took downward plunge and,
with occasional rallies, has been declining
ever since.
The total advance on the Syndicate's
August cotton from the lowest point was
about II cents, but since then the market
has at intervals dropped % and 80 points
at time, and to-day, in sympathy with
the fall in Liverpool, showed a decline
from the highest point Of a little more
than Is cents Mr.. Runge has had con-
siderable success in other speculations
He is understood to have made 500, 900 in
the big coffee deal, and also to have been
behind the recent June corner in wheat
here, by which the price was forced from
92 cents up to $l.01. Some of his friends
in the grain trade at the West went into
cotton by his advice, though it is not
known how heavily.
The syndicate of which he was the head
represented q capital, it was claimed, of
SIS, 600, 900, and it was said at one time
that the clique held 100000 bales here
and 100, 600 in Liverpool. The opinion is
that he had good chance of success if he
had attempted to corner New York only
He sought, however, to put the screws on
at Liverpool, and the task proved too much
for him, and instead of the four or five
million dollars the clique claimed they
would make on the deal, it has fallen
through altogether, and their cotton was
sold out in Liverpool to-day.
